Investing £1.2 million in international scholarships

Ireland (Republic of)

£150 free credit for books and other learning materials

To welcome all new EU undergraduate degree students starting in 2017 or 2018, we're giving away at least £150 worth of credit to spend in a host of ways, on books and a range of learning materials. Even better, it doesn't have to be repaid.

Birmingham has a thriving Irish heritage and you’ll receive a warm welcome in our city.

Birmingham is estimated to have the largest Irish population in the UK, and the UK’s only Irish Quarter in Digbeth. It’s home to the third biggest St Patrick’s Day Parade in the world, only just behind New York and Dublin - more than 80,000 people turn out for the celebration.

Irish dancing is popular in Birmingham, and there’s a great music scene with Irish pubs and bars.

For English Language proficiency, we accept English Language at Ordinary level with minimum of grade B3. This is only applicable to Irish passport holders. Other students will require an IELTS score 6.0 with no band less than 5.5 or equivalent. Please note, some courses may require a higher IELTS.

Postgraduate courses

To be considered for a place on a Master’s or Postgraduate Certificate course, you will normally be a graduate of an Irish or UK university. You will need a minimum 2.2 or above honours degree.
